IMPORTANT–Read and Follow!
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to cabinets
and cabinet finishes, use only materials
and finishes that will not discolor or
delaminate and will withstand
temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat
resistant adhesive must be used if the
product is to be installed in laminated
cabinetry. Check with your builder or
cabinet supplier to make sure that the
materials meet these requirements.
A GFI
shall be used if required by NFPA-70 (National Electric Code), federal/state/local
laws, or local ordinances.
• The required use of a GFI is normally related to the location of a receptacle with respect to
any significant sources of water or moisture.
• Viking Range, LLC will NOT warranty any problems resulting from GFI outlets which are not
installed properly or do not meet the requirements below.
If the use of a GFI is required , it should be:
• Of the receptacle type (breaker type or portable type NOT recommended)
• Used with permanent wiring only (temporary or portable wiring NOT recommended)
• On a dedicated circuit (no other receptacles, switches or loads in the circuit)
• Connected to a standard breaker of appropriate size (GFI breaker of the same size NOT
recommended)
• Rated for Class A (5 mA +/- 1 mA trip current) as per UL 943 standard
• In good condition and free from any loose-fitting gaskets (if applicable in outdoor situations)
• Protected from moisture (water, steam, high humidity) as much as reasonably possible

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
To avoid risk of electrical shock,
personal injury or death; verify
your appliance has been properly
grounded in accordance with local codes
or in absence of codes, with the National
Electrical Code (NEC). ANSI/NFPA-70 –
latest edition.
WARNING
MOVING HAZARD
To avoid risk of severe
personal injury; this appliance
requires two or more personnel while
handling and moving. Possible use of
appliance moving devices is recommended.
WARNING
TIPPING HAZARD
• THIS RANGE CAN TIP.
• A CHILD OR ADULT CAN
TIP THE RANGE AND BE
KILLED.

• This range may be installed directly adjacent
to existing 36” (91.4 cm) high base cabinets.
IMPORTANT: The side trim MUST be
3/8” (.95 cm) above the adjacent base
cabinet countertop. This can be
accomplished by raising the unit using
the adjustment spindles on the legs.
• The range CANNOT be installed directly
adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall
appliances, or other side vertical surfaces
above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be
a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance
from the range to such combustible surfaces
above the 36” (91.4 cm) counter height.
• Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to
combustible vertical surfaces above
36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabinet
depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall
cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side
clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above
the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.
• Wall cabinets above the range must be a
minimum of 42” (106.7 cm) above the
range cooking surface for the full width
of the range. This minimum height
requirement does not apply if a range
hood is installed over the cooking surface.
Note: If a range hood is installed, wall cabinets above the
range have a different minimum clearance height.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
To avoid risk of personal injury;
the use of cabinets for storage
above the appliance may result
in a potential burn hazard. Combustible
items may ignite, metallic items may
become hot and cause burns. If cabinet
storage is used, the risk can be reduced
by installing a rangehood that projects
horizontally a minimum 5" (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of cabinets.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to cabinets
and cabinet finishes, use only materials
and finishes that will not discolor or
delaminate and will withstand temperatures
up to 194°F (90°C). Heat and moisture
resistant adhesive must be used if the
product is to be installed in laminated
cabinetry. Check with your builder or
cabinet supplier to make sure that the
materials meet these requirements.

The bottom of a standard hood should be
30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max.
above the countertop. This would typically
result in the bottom of the hood being
66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the
floor. Refer to the range hood installation
instructions for additional information. These
dimensions provide for safe and efficient
operation of the hood.
